Latest version of iwork for mac4/18/2023 ![]() ![]() Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (500MHz or faster) processor.The new suite’s system requirements are relatively modest, and haven't really increased from iWork'08: Hopefully by the end of the review you'll know whether you should upgrade to iWork '09. And although Microsoft Office is popular among Mac users, this review compares iWork mainly against its former self. So if you're unfamiliar with iWork, please read our Work '08 review first for background information that isn't replicated here. In this review, I'll be looking primarily at what's new in this latest version vs. Keynote gains magic move, more transitions, chart animations, and Keynote remote. For Numbers, it's easy formulas, formula list view, table categories, and advanced charts. ![]() Apart from that, Pages gains a full screen view, dynamic outlines, mail merge with Numbers, and MathType and Endnote for including mathematical equations and bibliographies. Apple touts an enhanced template chooser and more ways to share for all three applications. Keynote 5.0, Pages 4.0, and Numbers 2.0 all sport some refinements, but this time around iWork isn't joined by a new family member. some more.answer a bunch of questions.they suggest online chat.if I wanted online chat I would have done that, right?.just let's make the appointment please.A year and 5 months after releasing iWork '08, Apple finally updated its productivity suite to version '09. No button to click on on the Apple web site to make an appointment. Try getting an actual appointment with your local Genius Bar? Ha, ha, what a joke. As far as I am concerned, Apple has lost their way. If I can't get this problem with Pages resolved to my satisfaction, NONE - I repeat NONE - of my future purchases will be Apple products. As a result, I am anticipating major technology upgrades: two new phones, two new tablets, new laptop. Thankfully, I will be moving in a couple of months and will have better internet. ![]() I currently live in a rural community with virtually no internet. But when you are not a programmer, just someone who turns on their machine and gets down to work, this is like being blindsided. Yeah, yeah, those little pop-ups are supposed to be considered fair warning. I'm grateful for the Apple products I do have that work right, but this was a customer service MISS. When you're a trillion-dollar company, you get to make up the rules. And don't expect anyone to care that you haven't evolved because of your sentimental longing for superior products made in the past. So those downgrading back to High Sierra, take your time and do it right. (Don't get me started on how you have to jump through a few more hoops just to get a reservation-even with Apple Care!). Now I have to wait 1 or 2 hours talking to a mac "genius" to fix this mess. So in moving back both my Apples to High Sierra, the desktop went fine. The free latest version is definitely a downgrade. However, palettes make much more sense on desktops. Just a few clicks here and there using only your fingertips. The latest was meant to be adaptable to iPad users. ![]() However, anyone using Pages '09 and the newest can tell you how slow and senseless the latest version is. I think Apple just wants us all to evolve to the latest and greatest version of the software. They might reason that the users should just know this! Duh, right? Of course, this is probably a lot to ask for. Even if it were a general note, it would make us really think about it. However, how many of us even keep up with those memos? Also, it would have been really simple to get a pop-up or something before "upgrading" to let the user know their favorite program will be compromised. I think VikingOSX mentioned something that is technically right. ![]()
